UNPRECEDENTED DUAL-ACTION
CAPABILITIES
A revolution in shear and vertical (axial) test control
The unique combination of Kinexus hardware
technology and rSpace software gives the
user the ability to configure three critical
rheometer functions independently:
t
Rotational (shear) control - torque, speed
and position
t
Vertical (axial) control – gap and Normal
Force
t
Temperature control
Offering the ultimate in rheological test
flexibility for both industry and academia,
Kinexus enables:
t
All rotational shear-based testing
t
Advanced vertical (axial) testing including
squeeze flow and tack testing
t
A combination of shear and vertical
actions for revolutionary process-relevant
measurements
Significant design effort has been
directed at the vertical, or axial
capabilities of the Kinexus platform – an
area that typically sees compromises on
most rheometer systems.
Kinexus combines high speed and ultra-fine
resolution gap control with high sensitivity
and ultra-responsive Normal Force control
for truly innovative sample loading and
measurement capabilities – from sensitive
structures to rapid curing systems.
Allied to ‘cradle to grave’ data collection
providing a complete sample history from
loading to unloading, every aspect of
rheological testing can be optimized and
verified for total consistency.
